About CATAP

The Canadian Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (CATAP) is a non-profit organization formed in 2004 to provide law enforcement personnel, criminal justice system officials, mental health professionals, educators, school and campus safety, corporate security, government officials and other stakeholders with valuable information for the prevention of violence in its many forms.

Since our inception, CATAP has grown and continues to promote the primary goal of CATAP: to assist its members in the accurate assessment and effective management of violence in its many forms, including stalking, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, workplace violence, child abuse, gang violence, and political terrorism, among others.

CATAP is affiliated with sister organizations (other "TAP's") around the world, and are proud to work with our international partners on new initiatives that bring value to our member community.
